are those who trod that derk in the artless dance, or whose voices sounded over the still waters like the chorus ofhymning angels ? They have almost all found a resting-place on tire lofty eminence that overlooks tire harbor, and, perhaps, of the joyous group of that night, few remain to recognise this notice of the event, or to recall to their memory the stranger who shared their courtesies. The stern voice of the commander of the vessel has long since ceased, and the athletic frames of the crew, have been placed where they will rest until “the sea shall give up its dead.” Before the boat could be brought to the wharf, and the company landed, the hour of eleven had struck, and it was twelve when the adieus at the door of the ladies had been pronounced; and 1 per ceived even through some dim gathering of my own eyes that the j'oung gentleman with whom 1 was left had more of Capt. Tucker’s medicine on hoard than comported with that regular and even step to which an elderly man and a father likes to. listen when his only' son returns late at night. The young gentlemen proposed that instead of disturbing our friends at such an unseasonable hour we should getfo a building in which he pursued his studies, and finish the night, where an old sofa, in one room, and a settee in the other, would afford apologies for a bed, and sleep would probably come without an apology. I accepted the proposition without knowing where the rooms were or what was the nature of my friend’s studies. He turned up a small alley in order to enter the building by the back door, and ascended a flight of j stairs in entire darkness. Loco-focomatches were not then in use. After some groping my' file lead er laid his hand upon an old sofa, upon which I threw myself, and in a few minutes I could hear by his deep, regular breathings that he was not only (riven up to the leaden god, but that no small temp tation would be likely to lead him from his devo tion. Having disposed myself upon my roost, and tur ned myself towards the window, scarcely distin | guishable in the general darkness, I addressed my self to sleep, which was not long in responding to I ni y a pirations. The cool breeze from the open I window aided my weariness and in a few minutes I 1 was not only asleep, hut in the midst of a war- I fare of dreams. The quantity of fish which a I quickened appetite had induced me to eat, lay upon Imy stomach like a mill-stone. A thousand thick I cou.ing fancies brought with them visitors of un | earthly shapes, who seemed to be chattering and I mewinspin rny face, and mucking me with grimaces I and distortions most horrible, while a strange con- I sciousnoss of some undefined evil was adding to I my torments. I At one moment, the vessel in which we hadmade I our exclusion was foundering, and a thousandgob- I linsweve peeping from behind a cloud to push be- I neath the waters the strugLng victims of the storm. I Again I was fleeing away from the earth-visiting I spirit of a former friend, who was continually gain- I mg upon me, while 1 toiled on with retarded step, I some unknown cause checking my progress, and I placing mo more within the reach of my puisucr. I At length I reached the cliff which overhung the I harbor, when fuvtner flight was impossible, and I where retreat was cut oIV by the near approach of I the object of my fear, who rushed upon me, and, I with a long, bony arm, dashed me fiom the summit I of the rock. I awoke with my nerves horribly shaken. The I moon in the mean time had risen, and was pouring I into the room a ri b flood of light that was peculiar- I ly agreeable in rny di.stuibcd state; for I could not I divert myself of the strong impression that the [skeleton form was yet near me, and that I had only [temporarily evaded his chase. Only par tially awake,l raised my head to shake [off tire loathsome images that had haunted me, [when an full in the moonlight arrested rny [attention. It was a skeleton —the very one that [had chased me in my sleep—there it was standing upright against the wall, with an awkward motion of its head and limbs. My attention was so intent ly fixed upon the strange visitation that it was some lime before 1 could withdraw my eyes from it. A slight noise, however, withdrew my regards, and I **v, beyond tlftt figure, two smaller skeletons in midair. They were holding a mock dance in the ■moonshine; and the noise which I had heard was ■ the their dry bones, as they twisted about lin their infernal revelry. The mo n sent its light Iso horizontally, that the shadows of these fantas- Itic visitants were cast upon the wall, and their ■strange motions and sickening forms were mulii- Splied to my senses. Other shapes began to appear las 1 looked about the room. The lank, bony arms [cfa mother were folded regularly around a skele- Iton child, pressed with the mockery of maternal solicitude closely to her bosom, through which the [moon and played upon Hie bony face [of the child, while a rocking motion of the skeleton mother seemed to indicate a wish to soothe into rest the long dead infant In the gloom of a distant corner of the room, I [could discern in motion the skeleton ot a horse, [urged foiwaid by the ghastly hand of a rider, who [must, years since, have died. | 1 gazed at these objects ti 1 my eyes ached with [unwinking watchfulness. At times all would be pull,and then the tiny revellers would lecommence p ;• im< e. rile they whirled a strange gyration, [their hands rattled wildly against their thigh bones, ifhen toe ste.n ligiue against the wall shook his tony head, and the rider in the dimness spurred up Ift steed,whose hoofs rattled in the air like pebbles thrown down upon the coffin-lid. Wild with fear, for 1 was most assured!}' frightened, I called to my companion—but he was sleeping off the effects of in unusisa debauch. I shouted at the top of my lungs, an ! the skeletons seemed to echo my voice fiorn the distant corner of the room. 1 looked up ■g un to see whether 1 was suffering the miseries of i frightful dream, or whether these things were real —my recollection was too distinct for deception, though all around me was top horrible for reality, livery time 1 ventured to lift my head, the ghastly crew seemed to have increased in number ; and be yond the horse and rider, I could see the dry, flcsh itss shants thrust out from beneath garments, while a hat deeply shaded the eyeless sockets be neath its b^im—and anon the whole wou’d circle their victim, and arms would swing, and legs would [move,and the wild wind that swept round the cor ker of the edifice, seemed to make music for the w altz chan.el house. At lengUi, feeling that it was not safe to trust |my mind to such excitement, I determined to grope !my way to the door, and reach my friend, whose kieep gutturals could be distinctly heaid. I there fore rose with a resolve to quit a place where suen ■unearthly scenes were cnac.ed. Hut scarcely was II upon my feet, when the rout commenced anew ■ their caveerings, and I saw directly over me, in the ■full light of the moon, a skeleton head grinning .down upon me, and then turn slowly away, as if in mockery of my fears. 1 threw myselt again upon the bench and covered my face. Cold drops [of sweat -;ood upon my whole form, while fear seemed to relax my frame and prevent mot:o i Strange as it may seem, the exhaustion to which |i was ieduced allowed me alter some time to drop into partial sleep, from which I was awakened by my friend, advising me that it was near sunrise, arid that we ought to retire to our respective houses. I started up —but the room was dark as when I entered it at midnight, and when 1 was conducted into the street I hesitated, in doubt whether by protracted evil dreams 1 had not been paying the penalties of the previous day’s excess —but it was impossible that a dream could be so long continued and with such horrible distinctness. My companion, who had confessedly indulged largely in the table pleasures of the previous day, expressed his surprise at the evidence of suffering which my fa< e presented, and added that he had hoped a good night’s sleep would have been as I beneficial to me as it bad been to him. I told him that I had either had most horrible [ d;eams, or else had suffered wakeful visitations not friendly to repose and refreshment. “Your looks betray that,” said he, “and I would I advise repose and sleep.” I tried my bed, but neither rest nor sleep would come: the horrible visions of the previous night were constantly before me, and, after some hours I vainly spent in attempts to sleep, I rose and went to find my night companion. He was abroad, and well. “ Are there never any noises heard at night in the loom in which you put me to sleep ?” said f. “ Never. All is as quiet as death in that room.” “ The tenants, or visitors seemed very active last night,” said I “Was there any conversation ?” asked he, in 1 surprise. “ None at all; though there was a good deal of mirth and strange frolic,” said I. “Oh,” replied inj- friend, “ I see that you went deeper into Captain Tucker’s wine than I thought you did, or j our head is weaker ; for no one could have gained admission into that room excepting k rough the door cf which I had the key. For we do nut allow any one to enter there.” “ Why not ?” r | “It is Doctor A’s lecture room, and there are some twenty or thirty skeleton’s,some natural 1 and some artificial, hung up in the chamber, with t specimens of comparative anatomy, and when 1 cn ; tered this morning, the windows were wdde open, ; and the old bones were kicking about in the breeze r as if they had been pirates hung in chains.” ; OBITUARY.

In crossing the Savannah river in the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur lay alteinoon, -May 30, I threw (by permission) my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon of an individual, who, with his wife and a small child, was crossing at the same time.

PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef- Tom Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far ao lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall lias descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a race horse of the first order., but I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.’* The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus:—■“ Highland Maiy combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler;gseat-gseat-grand dam O’Possum by Imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; ■great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou key.” On the she’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie.
